    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

It'll be four hours long, the first three of which will be spent building up a final climactic fight. The next 55 minutes will be filmed entirely without lighting with characters sitting around either bullshiting or fumbling about with each other. Four minutes are used to show one of the protagonists farting in the big bad guy's direction, causing said big bad to fall over and die. And finally there is one minute of picking out a new king by drawing straws. The credits will be written and filmed entirely by llamas and the last minute and at great expense.

I mean, I'd watch it, but I wouldn't be expecting too much from it.

That man will do anything to not write his book.

Does anyone still give a shit?

Honestly I'm a little impressed. I hate it, but I respect it. (Also George please.)

I ignore his projects as a result.

I don't think Martin did as much for elden ring as stuff like this suggests? Tell me that Miyazaki is making it into a movie and you'll have my attention.

I'm willing to be corrected but it seemed like Martin only had a small part in it? I mean, that's great and all but i don't like that he's the one in talks for a movie.

A creep writer and an absurdly obscure licence.

What could go wrong.

FYI, he wrote the original story for Elden Ring if you weren't aware.

So this isn't completely random.
